WHAT DOES A FRIEND MEAN TO YOU

@obviouslylucifer More of a legs kinda guy.

@shaun-durwin someone you can connect with at a personal level, and as you say, can also be free to be yourself without the judgement from said friends? Without a CV, or the best looks, or requirements of perfect credit score. He/She should have qualities that are connecting on a personal level rather than an academic level.

It would depend on the heart. I see beauty from within, not whats on the surface.

That's not a requirements list for friendship. Its a shopping list for an employee. Friends talk, they go to bar, they hang out, they listen and support each other.

@bela-hella respectfully, loyal and funny.

@rosestar Living a life with so much loss can rewire a brain to think of nothing but loss. A lost love one/s, a loss of security and even that personal comfort zone and what has been lead to believe. These can really throw a person to the ground. And after being dragged down there so massively and far far too often, we begin to stop bothering to get up again.
Unfortunately the mix of positive influences and experiences with a high percentage of negatives will no doubt rewire the mind to give depression, anxiety and other mental states. An understanding shoulder is a good solid help. But if that should is not strong enough to help support the individual, then they will usually run for the hills. Unconditional love does not do that. We need a strong understanding should to help. Depression is a heavy burden to carry and usually takes a couple of people to lighten that load. But having some alone time can have a positive psychological effect. We can really dig deep inside to understand what it is that keeps us down in the dumps. Then we can communicate with another so that an easier lift can be sought. Medication doesn't help though. It has never helped me. In fact in nearly lead to my demise. But I am stand up again, uneasy, but standing up.

@bela-hella Kindness, compassionate, commitment.

@bela-hella Thank you ma'am.

@rosestar I have found that understanding the things that are wrong really helps me to focus on what is right. Yes, life on a personal note has been extremely bad. But, I have found that there is so much outside influence that does not understand that which is wrong, or false. I have much patience now, stronger mentally, and the effect of that is the defences to my comfort zone are no longer in the way. Just the self defence to my physical existence and those I care about. Having a laugh, playing good positive music, a hobby and someone to share stories with, and even a hug is the best medicine I can suggest. But when we can always choose to have some alone time just so that we can enjoy our own thoughts for a little while. But too much of that time can and usually do spiral out of control.

@bela-hella Thank you ma'am.

I can prove nothing without truth. I know people care, its just our false perseption of what we have been conditioned to see and feel. Rather than seeing light a darkly lit room, we focus on how dark it is. By us being here is the start to a source to make the room brighter. I care!! I am a shoulder that has had a fair share of heavy burdens. But I am still here determined to speak truth at all costs. People care, we just don't see it because of how we've be conditioned.

I know they do but not the people around me in here.

Then you ask yourself the question; If those around you in here do not care, are they worth knowing?? Do they also benefit you in a positive way?

Bring me sunshine, all the while, bring me laughter, so I can smile...
I saw tortoise walking down the road the other day with a label on its shell, it read; NOTICE OF EVICTION. Taking everything including his shirt. BANKS!!!

@azriel friends are there, but there has not been any connection to initiate the start of a network. Like a computer network. Its there, but unless you have a device to connect to it, we can not gain access.
Loneliness can make us feel like there is no one who cares, but there are people who do.

@bela-hella Nice injection of happy hormone. Thank you.
